In the Edward’s League method, ambitious learning goals and outcomes are extremely important, but they are not our only priorities. We place great emphasis on helping our students to continuously improve their language awareness. We make sure that they understand why they are learning specific language skills and how they will be able to put them into practice.
As well as setting clear educational goals and gradually developing our students’ linguistic awareness, we aim to ensure that they become global citizens.
Graduates of Edward’s League courses are young people who are able to put their skills into practice in any area of their lives: in their studies, in their future careers or in their leisure time. Their openness to the world is certainly facilitated by exposure to authentic materials from the English-speaking world included in the method.
Working with real-life resources, our students become familiar with different varieties of English, and are able to use them effectively across a range of communicative contexts. Plus, classes are taught in a way that promotes the development of young people’s skills for the future.
We encourage students to gradually take responsibility for their own learning and start planning it themselves.
The range of classroom activities promotes the development of social competence and teamwork skills.
Students learn about effective study techniques and get ongoing feedback on their progress.
As their language proficiency grows, students view English as their superpower that can unlock countless opportunities and experiences in life.
Edward’s League students are given access to our Homework Site educational app, which is designed to help them consolidate and build on the knowledge acquired in class. Completing homework assignments in the app is just as important as classroom participation.
It is the combination of both that ensures excellent learning outcomes.
In teaching children and teenagers, we have consistently been guided by our values, which combine challenging objectives with a friendly and supportive classroom environment based on trust and relationship building. Students are involved in engaging classroom activities, acquire knowledge in a structured way, and receive continuous feedback on their own progress and the next steps in their learning journey.
Teenagers find it vitally important to understand and have some agency over the learning process, as this gives meaning to what happens in class and creates a sense of empowerment. We are committed to making our students feel at ease and we want learning to be an enjoyable experience that helps build their confidence.
